It was a wonderful session with Ai and she guided us to make a beautiful flower arrangement. She made a lot of effort in giving her participants an authenticity Japanese flower activity experience.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you so much for your lovely review and for joining my ikebana session!
I’m very happy to hear you enjoyed creating a beautiful flower arrangement and could feel the authenticity of Japanese flower culture.
I hope your flowers will always remind you of your time in Tokyo.
You’re always welcome back any time!
I enjoyed Ikebana a lot!
It was my first time to try, but the instructor Ai-sensei was very kind and taught me how to do it in English. It was very helpful! She gave me good advice and showed us how to do it and make it look better and beautiful . And touching real flowers made me very relaxed and refreshed. It was very interesting for me that every participant used same flowers but the works we made looked totally different!
It is worth it to try it once, you can touch authentic Japanese culture here!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for joining the Ikebana experience!
It was memorable to see your surprise when looking at everyone’s arrangements — “It’s amazing how different each work looks even with the same flowers!”
Your sense of space and balance was wonderful, especially for a first-time Ikebana experience.
Please come and join us again whenever you have the chance!
It was my first time to participate in Ikebana, but I was able to participate with peace of mind because I was taught carefully from the history and basics.
It was very easy to understand because the teacher explained the procedure and gave advice.
It was interesting to see that even though I was using the same kind of flowers, the shapes were completely different for different people, and it was fun to see the individuality and personality of the finished work. Ikebana, a part of Japanese culture, was also recommended for foreigners as an experience to feel Japanese.
It was such a wonderful experience that even beginners could easily enjoy!

They explained the history, origin, explanation of flower vases, tools, main styles of ikebana, and the basics of how to grow ikebana, based on resumes, and learned about Japanese beauty. I thought Ikebana was too difficult, but I was able to participate easily. It was a blissful time, feeling pure and a space where the heart was purified.

It was interesting to see how different the work was, even though it used the same number of flowers!
It doesn't go quite as well as I would have liked because of the mood of the flowers, but it made me envision a new shape. It was as if the flowers were saying, "Not that way!"
The teacher was a friendly person. On my teacher's advice, my work tightened up! I'm sure he interpreted Hana's voice! (^o^)
It was a very good time!

The other day, I had my first experience of fresh flowers in this classroom with a friend from junior high school. I was a novice who didn't know any manners or anything, but I had a great time learning everything from the history of fresh flowers to each style. I think it is the perfect classroom for learning the depth of fresh flowers.

Ikebana for the first time, and participated with anxiety and excitement.
As a result, I had a very good time.
It was a manufacturing, a therapy, an amusement, and I felt very comfortable with the force of nature and the space created by the teacher.

I joined with my friends.
It was my first time to visit fresh flowers, and I had a great time with nervous but careful explanation and guidance.
The Japanese-style room is also very beautiful and you can taste the extraordinary.
He also taught me about the history of fresh flowers, and I felt that Japanese culture was wonderful once again.
I want everyone in the world to know.
I was also able to take home some flowers, so I enjoyed decorating them at home.

It was my first experience of fresh flowers, but it was so much fun and time passed so quickly!
We started with a smiley welcome from Ai Sensei, and we were able to touch fresh flowers in a peaceful atmosphere with very easy-to-understand explanations about the history of flower arrangement and tools♪
Although I participated with my colleagues, I could feel the individuality of each of the works because they were all finished using the same flower material, and I think that Ai-sensei gave me detailed advice on each of the works and made the works much more attractive.
It was also fun to think about the length, angle and depth of the flowers, and it was 90 minutes to be drawn into the fun and charm of fresh flowers.
I hope everyone will experience this charm!

The teacher was beautiful and the Japanese-style room was lovely, which was worth the experience alone. He also gave me advice at my own pace, and explained how to handle and balance flower material in a way that even beginners can easily understand. When you see the finished work, there is a sense of achievement. I was able to spend a very rich time because I felt comfortable being able to concentrate while touching the seasonal flowers. I also recommend it to people I know.

I experienced the first ikebana in my life with a friend. We had a quiet and meaningful time away from the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. The teacher was also very attractive, and the gestures as well as the conversation were lovely. They made me feel like Ikebana flower arrangement without being arrogant.

I joined with a colleague at work. Thanks to the attention of the teacher, I was able to work with peace of mind for the first time, and unexpectedly the wonderful work was completed. I had the impression that ikebana was too difficult to handle, but when I actually experienced it, I felt very comfortable spending time with it, and that impression completely changed. I am looking forward to meeting new flowers every season, and from now on I will continue to do ikebana in my own way.

I would love to participate with my family next time. Thank you for the wonderful time.

Ikebana was nervous in her first experience, but the teacher spoke kindly and happily, and I was able to proceed in a relaxed manner.
He also taught me about the history of ikebana and today's flower materials, which I learned a lot.
When I picked up each one, I could see that the same flower had its own personality. As I proceeded to have a dialogue about which flowers to star in and where to place them, I concentrated and it was a quick time.
In the course of the lesson, it looked completely different just by changing the height of the chrysanthemum, taking a leaf and arranging the branches. I was impressed by how profound ikebana is.
I had a moment to enrich my heart.
I highly recommend it.

It was an experience in a very beautiful facility with good access from the station.
I think that such an experience depends on the teacher's goodness, but he was a very nice teacher who overflowed with good character.
It gave me knowledge I didn't know about ikebana, provided easy-to-understand guidance and exciting time.
I hope to go back for a calm time with flowers.

I enjoyed participating in the event with advice from the teacher!
I was drawn to the length of the branches, the orientation of the leaves, and the fact that the work would change drastically by removing a single leaf.
I can take the flower material home with me, so I'm happy to enjoy it for a long time 🌷
It was such a good experience that we immediately referred it to friends and family!
Thank you for the wonderful experience.

It was my first experience of ikebana.
I had always been interested in it, but I didn't have the opportunity to try it, so I felt it was a bit of a hurdle to start as a lesson.
It was very good to be able to experience it casually this time.
It was interesting to see and touch the seasonal flowers and branches while explaining the cultural background to learn properly,
I wanted to try it in different seasons and flower vases in the future.

It was my first experience of ikebana. I longed to put flowers on display, but I didn't know how to make them look beautiful or how to keep them alive, so I assumed they had nothing to do with me. I think it was great to have the courage to experience it. The teacher instructed me very carefully and kindly, and I was able to go in no time because he pointed out it in an easy-to-understand and accurate way.
I'd love to come again. I'd like to try other flowers next!
From now on, I think I can put flowers in the vase of my house.

Ikebana had the image of being 'classy and difficult...' but there seems to be a free style called 'free flower', so even beginners could enjoy it easily! One by one, I picked up the flower material and said, "How am I going to do that?" It was a very comfortable time to face the flower material while thinking 🥰
Even the same flower material gives different impressions to different people, and it was interesting to see the individuality of each person 😳
Thank you for the wonderful time 💐

I had a difficult image on my own, but it was so much fun because I could just follow the basic rules and lay flowers freely!
I was able to express what I imagined in my head with advice from the teacher!
I wanted to try more ikebana with different flowers!

生け花体験にお越し下さりありがとうございました。ご自分の目標を作品に表現していて素敵だなと思いました。初めてなのに潔い鋏使いが印象的でした。また機会がありましたら、遊びに来てください！
It was my first experience of ikebana.
I went there without knowing anything, but there was a brief explanation before the experience, and I liked the introduction of an easy-to-understand way to start, such as the origin of ikebana, the type of ikebana, and the name of the flower used that day. The experience was free and fun without any difficulties. It was refreshing to see that I was taking an art class for the first time in a long time because I don’t usually design something myself. Also, I think it is good to be able to touch various flowers depending on the season because you can feel the season.

He taught me very carefully about the history of ikebana and how to live it! Rikyu is famous for his tea, but is he the founder of Ikebana? It was an eye-opener to know that San was a monk 🐟
I've been to several flower workshops, but this was my first time to visit ikebana! I wanted a sword mountain and a flower vase 🪻
I want to enjoy it at home ٩꒰.•◡•｡꒱۶ I think I'll try using it for New Year 🎍
I was able to take flowers home, so I went home and laid them right away! I want to love you at home for a while 🪻

It was my first experience of ikebana and I was anxious, but the teacher taught me very gently and with a smile, and I was able to do it with a pleasant feeling. Also, the venue was open and bright Japanese-style room, and I felt very comfortable.
From the teacher's talk, I was able to learn a variety of knowledge such as the history of ikebana, the personality of flowers, and the combination of colors, and I was able to learn the depth of ikebana.
I wanted to come and learn so that I could think more and display the flowers beautifully, instead of throwing them into the vase without thinking. Thank you very much for the wonderful time we had.

"Every time I saw someone walking around the city carrying an important flower, I thought, "I'd like to experience ikebana someday."""
This time, I was able to participate in the ikebana experience as I had hoped.
We did not have to make any special preparations to participate in the event, but they taught us not only how to handle the flowers themselves, but also the history of ikebana and the characteristics of each type, and we were immediately drawn into the Japanese world.
I was a little nervous at first, but the teacher kindly approached me and I was able to relax and face the flowers.
I was very happy to learn a few tricks, such as the direction of the branches and how to cut them, and the result was more wonderful than I thought.
Each participant's work showed their own individuality and thoughts, and it was a precious time to feel the depth of ikebana.
In this global age,
Being exposed to traditional Japanese culture in this way was a very refreshing and heartwarming experience.
I would love for you to participate in this event if you are interested.
